Close tabs #2 through #11 in window B. 3. Attempt to re-open closed tab #1 in window A. What is the expected behavior? Tab #1 is re-opened in window A. What went wrong?

I understand what the reporter is asking for -- if window A is focused and you hit ctrl-shift-t, we reopen the last tab that was closed in window A. This behavior would indeed be useful a lot of times. Unfortunately it breaks badly when the closed tab or tabs were the last tabs in the window. Then you need to provide some sort of special separate way for people to recover the tabs. The mental overhead of modeling separate tab closure stacks to predict what will happen is also pretty high as well, so beyond a small number of tabs per window, this proposal becomes harder to use. For these reasons, we've decided in the past not to do this. I do wonder if an extension could provide UI like this, because it seems like a reasonable thing in some cases. |
